NC kayaks are a consistent race winner, but as a touring paddler you'll love the benefits of our boats. Effeciency and speed translates to a more enjoyable paddling experience. The speed means it takes fewer paddle strokes to go from point A to point B, and can make a longer trip that much more attainable and enjoyable.

We achieve this speed and effeciency by utilizing an extremely narrow bow and stern coupled with a streamlined mid hull design.

The extremely narrow stern demands our kayaks track exceptionally well. The kayak is virtually unaffected by wind or tidal conditions, reducing the need for a rudder or corrective strokes.

Essentially, once a paddler picks a landmark or compass point, the kayak will track to your destination, allowing you to be more aware of your surroundings and scenery.

Our hull design yields excellent initial stability. A highly desirable trait, allowing you to build confidence, and to develop and refine paddling skills. For the more advanced paddler, our soft chine and performance flange result in unrivaled secondary stability and great turning performance.

At NC Kayaks we take great pride in the construction of our ocean kayaks.

We handcraft each composite component in-house. Significantly reducing the weight by eliminating excess resin in the laminate. Using such care in the manufacturing process, we produce some of the lightest kayaks available.
